Chapter 11

Andrea's p.o.v

"Okay so how did you even blow your cover?" Tony quizzed as he paced back and forth in his Iron Man suit. "It's a long story Tony, but the more time we waste talking here the more time they have to escape," I groaned. He looked at Cap with a glint in his eyes. "Okay let's go," Steve nodded and gripped his shield.

We rushed outside and made our way around the bush that separates the houses from the base. I could just about see over it, and I noticed two guards stood outside with machine guns in their grips. "I'll knock those two out and you guys follow on on my signal," I nodded, pressing a button in my ear that allows us to talk.

Steve knelt down and allowed me to step on his leg so I could get a better look over. I teleported in front of the guards, a smirk on my face. Before they could even realize I was there I muttered a "hello boys," before hitting one on the back of the head as hard as I could and grabbing the other in a sleeper hold. We weren't here to kill unless necessary, which was a different feeling considering my skill set.

"All clear, going in," I muttered, before jamming the door open and lifting my gun up, placing it on stun mode. It seemed normal, like a house. But there had to be a trap door here somewhere, leading to something else. I jumped when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to find Steve looking at me with warning in his eyes.

The soldier lifted his finger to his mouth as a way to tell me to be quiet before he pointed to a room. A light was on inside, but no noise was coming from it. "I need to get to a computer so I can temporarily download the data and delete everything," Nat said in the comms. "I'll get you there," I whispered as Steve took the lead and we both stood either side of the door.

I saw the gloved hand move to open it and as soon as the handle was down we jumped in there and found another four guards looking at us shocked. As one came at me, I kicked him in the chest, before hitting the other round the face with my gun.

I felt a gust of wind come out of me as I got a hit to the gut, but I recovered quickly and kneed one in the face hearing the crack of his nose. "Hey Nat, ever thought about teaching me your wrap around the head move," I joked, referring to the move she would do where she would wrap her legs around the enemies head.

"You two, leave your flirting elsewhere. I think I've found a lead," Tony whisper shouted into the comms. "A bit tied up at the moment," I responded before slamming another guard's head into the wall. When I turned around the remaining two guards were on the floor.

The two of us glanced around, trying to find something that could lead us to the remaining guards. As I looked at a control panel that appeared to have CCTV all over, including one pointing at the apartment building, I noticed a red button. Instinctively I pressed it and nothing happened.

"Whatever you two just did, thank you. You opened a door to a large basement. I'm doing a scan now," Tony said. We could hear him talking to Jarvis as we slowly made our way to Tony, meeting up with Nat along the way. "Oh you have a little-" I began, pointing to the small amount of blood on her cheek. She wiped it instinctively before shrugging. "It's not mine," she snapped before pushing through some doors.

"Can she get any hotter?" I asked Steve without realizing I was actually saying anything. Steve awkwardly laughed, but couldn't follow up as we found Tony, looking into the hatch on the floor. I glanced down and noticed around 50-100 agents packing stuff up. I tapped Nats shoulder to get her attention and pointed at the large computing system.

"Plan guys?" Tony quizzed as we all just sat there, watching the Hydra Agents rush around, knowing trouble was coming around any minute. "I could just teleport in there and we can create a distraction so Nat can get the information we need before leaving again,"
I shrugged, the idea seemed pretty easy.
